Arnie "the Farmer" Beswick.   

Arnie "the Farmer" Beswick.  This is  the famous drag racer from a small farming town in
Illinois, whose  extraordinary success in drag racing has made him a legend in his own time
to  four generations of fans.  Not only is Arnie the most well known Pontiac drag  racer in
the world, but his continuous series of Pontiac super stocks, funny  cars and nostalgia door
slammers, has made him an undisputed fan favorite  from coast to coast for over forty
years.  In this condensed biography, we'll  take a close look at the man, and his climb to
the top in a fiercely  competitive sport.

IN THE BEGINNING...Arnie Beswick grew up on the family farm in Morrison, Illinois,
where he developed a passion for things mechanical at a very early age.  No matter what
the device or machine, Arnie just had to work on it.  As soon as he was old enough to
own a car, he began to focus all of his attention to making it faster.  Regardless of the
vehicle, he was determined to improve upon its performance.

By the mid fifties, he was racing Oldsmobiles and Dodges.  Always in search of the
ultimate performance machine, in 1958 he purchased a new Pontiac Chieftain, and a
tradition was started.  His continued successes behind the wheel of Pontiacs became
nothing short of legend, and in race after race around the country, he showed competitors
that he was the man to beat.
